sion ensued. The burning oil was scattered
over the room and, reaching several other
lamps second and more serious explosion

deavor to tear their burning clothes from

munication addressed by you to the Secretary

In the present situation | do not feel called
upon TO determine the merits OF the controversy
which has arisen between the Secretary and
yourself, further than to say that my impress
sionS touching the legal questions involved
incline me 10 rely, as l naturally would do
even if | had no impressions Of my own,
upon the judgment Of the Secretary. 1t pre-
sents case of Interpretation where two per-
fectly honest men may well differ. The interest
you have shown in the operations of the land
department, and your jealous endeavor TO save
and protect public lands for settlers in good
faith, induce me to believe that you will be
pleased TO receive assurance that this policy
upon which we are all agreed, will continue to
be steadfastly pursued. We are hampered and
controlled, however, by the law and Judgment
of courts by which we may be at times unwil-
lingly restrained, but which we cannot and
ought not to resist,
desire to heartily acknowledge the value of
your services In the improved administration Of
the Land Department which has been reached,
and to assure you Of my appreciation Of the
rugged unN'ielding Integrity which has charac-
teriZed your official conduct | am constrained
to accept the resignation you tender with assur-
ances of my continued kindly feeling toward
you and with an earnest wish that wherever
your future way of life may lead complete sue.
cess and satisfaction may await you.
Thanking you for the pleasing and compli-
mentary expressions with which you close your

A Platform Adopted After Consider
able Skirmishing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 17.--At the
State Convention of the United Labor
party here to-day a resolution favoring the
Syracuse platform was offered and strongly

adoption of the Cincinnati platform of the
United Labor party. The debate resulted in
the adoption of a series of resolutions indors-
ing the Free Soil platform of 1852; favoring
a single tax on land values and declaring
that ''all such monopolies as have been
built up by the assistance of the government
through the grant of special privileges, and
all necessary enterprises exceeding the
power of individual ability, should be
owned and controlled by the government,
as the postal system now is" The
resolutions also declare in favor
of the Australian system of voting. Resolu-
tions were also adopted providing for a
conference between the State Executive
Committee of Missouri and that of New
York. and such other States as are or
ganized for the purpose of arranging for a
call of national conference of the United
Labor party. St. Louis was recommended
as the best location for national conven-

acid began leaking and set the boat on fire.
Nothing could be done to put out the flames,
every man being driven from his post by
the flames Of the acid. There being good
head of steam on, the boat kept ON moving,
the wheelman managing to retain his posi-
ton A boat was lowered and made ready
for receiving the men in case they could not
make the harbor, but the steamer rounded
the breakwater at $50 o'clock this morn
ing. running close enough to enable the crew
to jump off. After the boat was abandoned
she ran ashore close to the government pier
and was soon mass of flames. The FIRE de-
partment was called out but could do moth
ing to save the vessel and she soon burned
down to the water. The Arizona was a
freight boat, valued at about 100000.
She was on her last trip for the season.

FLORIDA'S CAPITAL.
How the Decision OF the Railroad Com

How the Decision OF the Railroad Com
mission is Received.
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 17.-The decision of
the Railroad Commission, that the passen-
ger rates on all the main lines of railroad in
the State shall be &c. mile, is received with
general approval by the public, but the
roads themselves express in unmistakable
terms their appreciation of the losses they
will sustain by the reduction, and in som
cases a reduction of train service is threat
ened, but it is hoped the revival of travel
and business, incident to the winter season,
will avert losses and make it expedient for
the roads TO continue the excellent service
now afforded their patrons The past two
months have been very trying ones to the
business of Florida because of the yellow
fever scares in the peninsIIlar portions of
the State, and no interests have been more
disastrously affected thereby than the rail-
roads, consequently the managers have been
quite blue, but now that travel is rapidly
increasing and business is improving at a
remarkable rate the outlook is more encour-
aging.
Visitors and prospectors from the North
and Northwest are already coming into the
State in large numbers and the through
travel is very large.
Middle Florida is now enjoying a full
share of attention from practical men from
other States, who are anticipating the pros
porous future awaiting this favored section
and investments are being made by men
who will improve the property and reap
handsome profits in the near future by the
advances now being made in real estate.
Arrangements have been made for supply
ing Tallahassee with electric lights, and
they will soon be put in place.
The cotton cropis being rapidly marketed,
and the returns are more satisfactory than
they have been for several years.
The State Supreme Court this week de-
cided that a municipal officer need not be a
registered voter of the city or town in which
he is elected to the local Office
The West Florida Seminary, located at
Tallahassee, is in a more satisfactory and
fiourishing condition than it has been for
years, and the number of students is steadily
increasing.

Arrival of the Chamberlain Party at
Washington.
WASHINGTON. Nov. l7-Mr Joseph Cham
berlain and Sir Charles Tupper, who, with
Minister West, constitute the commission
on the part of Great Britain TO endeavor to
secure settlement of the vexed fisheries
question. arrived in the city
this afternoon from New York.
They were Immediately driven to
the Arlington Hotel where thirty-seven
rooms had been engaged for them and their
party. OF these thirty-seven rooms, five
were set apart for Mr. Chamberlain per-
sonally and eightpr ten Others are occu-
pied by the Canadian members of the party
and two gentlemen from the British For
eign Office who accompany Mr.. Chamber
lain. The other rooms are for the personal
attendants Of the commissioners. Beside the
two High Commissioners the party includes
Messrs Maycock and Bergne of the British
Foreign Office Hon. j. s. d. Thompson Cana
dian Minister of Justice: Maj. Gen. ID. K.
Cameron, official secretary 10 Sir Charles
Tupper; 9. Chapman, his private secretary,
and Wallace Greham, Queens Counsel, his
legal adviser. The commissioners will be
presented to the President probably on Sat
urday The day for the beginning of tho
session of the conference has not been fixed,
but il is thought probable that the British
commissioners will not require more than
few days for consultation, and that the
more formal work of the commissioners
will begin some time next week. Ii is
probable that the session will be held with
closed doors.

last week while addressing crowd in Ira

to-day. He was charged with disorderly
conduct in speaking in Trafalgar square

blageS. He was also charged with obstruct-
ing the police. The Crown Counsel admitted
that the charges were unstatutory and
requested that they be dismissed.
Mr.. Saunders insisted on conviction. The
Magistrate. however, dismissed the charges
on the ground that breach Of the prOhibi-

FIRE AT TITUSvILLE.
A Portion of the Lund House Destroyed
by Incendiaries. 81

TIrusvILLE, FLA, Nov. 1.-THE dining
room, kitchen and larder Of the Lund House
at this place were destroyed by fire at 2
o'clock this morning. The origin of the
fire is unknown. By some it is believed to
have been incendiary The loss is $1,000
The insurance, if any, is not known. A
light wind and prompt action by the citizens
alone prevented the destruction of the prin-
cipal portion Of the town. A room within
a few feet Of the burned build
ing and connected with the main
building Of the hotel stands an almost in
tact monument to the heroism of the citi-
zens, who, as bucket brigade, arrested the
progress of the flames at that point and
saved the town. A colored female servant
narrowly escaped cremation. The lessees, of
the hotel have surrendered the lease and re-
moved, fearing an early repetition of the
fire fiend's visit. The organization of a
hook and ladder company is proposed.
